   What a bunch of bullshit.  Every single Member of Parliament, their   
   relatives working for that same government, and their spouses working   
   for that government can make donations, carry party membership cards,   
   and plaster political signage all over their properties if they wish.   
   And if you ever took the time to review the donors lists for each   
   federal election, you'd see that many of them are listed there, along   
   with the amounts they donated.   
      
   You're not the only one who's worked for the federal government, ya   
   arrogant ass.  I'm strongly suspecting YOU never did.
